JohnKuthe Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I was TRYING to replace the speaker connection posts as one was very loose in the hole in the cabinet! Falling OUT loose! Electrically fine, but... So I decided to replace the speaker terminal posts, first with a stainless machine screw system I designed, then I got a hard plastic 3" diameter into cabinet 3" hole, neither would produce any BASS at all, but tweeter and squawker worked fine!! All wires are connected to drivers and crossovers securely physically. I'm at a loss! I guess Alpha Tech gets another job from me Monday! 😞 I can break anything! 😞 John Kuthe... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't DO anything with any of the drivers or the crossover, just the two leads from the crossover to the speaker terminals. I'll PAY Alpha Tech to fix my boo boo, whatever it was. 😞 I give up! :-) John Kuthe... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 And I take it you can't post a picture of it? Sounds like a phasing issue almost. What about playing one at a time? Or reverse the +/- on one speaker and see what happens. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do NOT have the time or mind to mess with stuff which makes NO SENSE! I have enough MONEY to let others worry about it for me! And Alpha Tech is a great shop! I've done a lot of great business with them! I even BOUGHT my McIntosh MC2105 amp from them! It was sitting out in from once when I went in for something and I REMEMBER seeing those on a Grateful Dead Movie where they drew the curtain and the stage had STACKS of them for their concert, I think they were MC2105s! I think Bob Heil got them for the Dead in a St Louis show! Bob Heil's a well known audio whiz John Kuthe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babadono Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I don't really understand fully what the problem is but yea your right.....a wire and a terminal for said wire IS NOT THAT COMPLEX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are two wires, red and black that go from the terminal posts to the crossover. It's NOT rocket science! About as technically complex as changing a battery! John Kuthe...
